Small, but Not Lonely
The McKirdy Micro: Breaking 3 marathon has a 250 athlete cap. It's a small race, but not a lonely one. When you're in a group of runners with the same goal and dedicated pacers all following the same pacing plan, you simply hop in line and hang on for as long as you want. Many previous McKirdy Micro participants have said that our marathon is the first time they DIDN'T end up running solo in the second half of a race!
Since it's a 2.94 mile looped course, it also makes spectating incredibly easy for your friends and family. You'll be able to see them approximately every 20 minutes!
FAQs
Yes, as the goal of the race is to break 3 hours, the official time limit to complete the race is 3:25:00. Anyone finishing beyond this mark will not receive an official finishing time or further aid on the course.
Yes. We will have pace groups for 2:50, 3:00, and 3:10 finishing times. Please note the course cutoff time is 3:25 - if you do not finish before the 3:25 mark, you will not receive an official finish time. Also, since the course is multiple loops, it is easy and safe to step off early if necessary.
Yes, please come prepared with a copy of their ID and any required paperwork.
There is no gear check - please secure any valuables in a locked vehicle or with family/friends!
No. Due to the nature of the small looped course and lapping that can occur in the later stages of the event, headphones or earbuds are not allowed to be worn by any participant. This is for your safety.
Anyone finishing under the 3:25 course cutoff receives a finishing medal, and there is a surprise prize purse for all sub-3 hour finishers that will be announced soon! Stay tuned!
